Welcome to my blog!

I am Priscilla O'Sullivan, owner of Bellissima Photography and Design. We are a boutique photography studio located in Downers Grove IL, specializing in photographing children and weddings. They are so different, which is why I love photographing both! I decided to start this blog not to just showcase my beautiful clients, but to have an outlet to tell everyone a little about me, crazy and all! I was married in 2003 and remember all the headaches of planning and finding just the perfect match for my photographer. After that experience, that's how Bellissima was born! I chose the name because it means "beautiful" in Italian. What a perfect description for those moments that mean the most.

I am married to an amazing guy (James) who is constantly encouraging me to be the best version of me that I can. I am so lucky to not only have that, but I also have been blessed with two beautiful kids, Kailee and Rylan, which I'm sure you will see plenty of posts about! And lastly my two dogs, Bella and Brandy, who are Lab/Boxer mix dogs that we adopted. Our house is full, and I am so blessed to have so many great people in my life.

That's the basic scoop on me. Keep checking the posts to find out more!

Little E :: Plainfield Newborn Photographer

So little E came to me around 5 weeks old. Even though it’s a bit older than we’d like to see new little ones, we made it work! She was WIDE awake for a good part of the session, she was cracking me up though with her arms. It was like she was a little boxer, she kept jabbing the air. But we finally got her to sleep, when the storm of all storms hit. It was so dark, and it was thundering, so it was like walking on egg shells, but we me managed to get some beautiful shots of her. Enjoy the photos!
